GENERAL  INFORMATION 


Directions    tor   Ordering    Supplies 

»-v  UBLISHERS  are  earnestly  requested  to  carefully  consider  their 
supply  orders  before  placing  them.  We  cannot  exchange  or  give 
credit  for  matrices,  molds,  or  other  supplies  furnished  on  order, 
as  the  labor  and  expense  of  testing,  inspecting  and  sorting  forbid 
our  doing  so.  Supplies  thus  furnished  are  therefore  useless  to  us 
if  returned. 


K 


Customers  are  cautioned  to  carefully  observe  the  instructions  given  below 
when  ordering  supplies.  By  so  doing  they  will  avoid  mistakes,  and  save 
time  and  trouble. 

When  ordering  matrices  use  printed  Matrix  Order  Blanks,  which  we 
supply  free  on  request. 

State  plainly  name  of  font  and  number  of  face  desired,  specifying 
whether  fractions  are  wanted,  and  if  so  whether  they  are  to  be  on  an 
"em"  or  "en"  or  "figure"  "set,"  and  whether  they  are  to  be  run  in 
keyboard,  pi  box,  or  in  special  channel. 

When  ordering  sets  of  caps  or  lower  case  matrices,  state  if  a  to  z  only 
are  wanted. 

If  you  are  using  No.  1  faces  with  No.  2  table  characters,  or  No.  2 
faces  with  No.  1  table  characters,  or  any  other  combination  of  faces, 
please  specify  this  in  your  order. 

When  ordering  italics,  black  faces,  or  special  matrices,  always  specify 
whether  they  are  to  run  pi  or  in  the  magazine. 

When  ordering  1 1  -point  Gothic  head  letter  matrices,  state  whether 
they  are  to  be  used  on  9-point  or  1 1  -point  body. 

Matrices  for  sorting  up  can  be  furnished,  independent  of  sets,  in  any 
quantities. 

If  you  are  in  doubt  as  to  the  number  of  the  face  you  are  using,  send 
a  lower  case  "n"  matrix. 

Fractions  in  German  faces  are  always  furnished  to  run  in  the  pi  box. 

We  carry  in  stock  pine  trays  to  hold  a  full  set  of  matrices,  which  will 
be  found  very  convenient  for  handling  and  storing  sets  of  matrices  not 
in  actual  use.  These  we  supply  at  $1  each. 

Always  state  plainly  how  you  wish  goods  shipped — whether  by  freight, 
express,  or  by  mail ;  and  if  a  special  route  is  desired,  name  it.  Other- 
wise we  shall  exercise  our  judgment. 

It  is  important  that  supply  orders  should  be  sent  either  to  one  of  the 
agencies  or  to  the  factory  direct,  not  to  the  General  Office,  New  York. 

Remember  that  unless  your  order  is  plain  and  in  accordance  with  the 
above  instructions,  vexatious  delays  are  liable  to  occur.

One  and  two-letter  sets  in  any  face  from  5-point  to  14-point  inclusive, 
if  made  up  according  to  standard  list,  are  $40  and  $66  respectively  per 
set;  if  changes  are  required  an  additional  charge  will  be  made. 

DUPLICATE  CHARACTER  MATRICES  are  made  with  identic- 
ally the  same  character  in  both  positions  and  can  be  used  in  either  upper 
or  lower  position  in  connection  with  one-  and  two-letter  matrices,  with- 
out shifting  the  line. 

TWO-LINE  MATRICES  are  used  principally  for  initial  letters  and 
"ads,"  casting  on  the  first  slug  and  overhanging  the  second.  They  can 
be  used  for  head  lines  by  casting  them  on  an  11  -point  body. 

SECTIONAL  MATRICES  are  used  for  advertising  work  requiring 
large  figures.  The  top  section  casts  on  the  first  slug  and  the  bottom  on 
the  second;  the  two  complete  the  character. 

VERTICAL  SLUG  MATRICES  have  the  character  punched  cross- 
wise of  the  matrices  and  cast  it  horizontally  on  the  slug,  permitting  the 
slug  to  be  turned  vertically  to  produce  a  column  of  figures  in  print. 

RIVETED  MATRICES  represent  two  or  more  characters  combined 
to  produce  a  single  character,  logotype,  or  word.  The  charge  for  this 
style  of  matrix  is  3  cents  for  each  matrix  composing  the  character  and 
10  cents  additional  for  riveting.  For  two-letter  the  price  is  4£  cents  for 
each  character  and  10  cents  for  riveting. 

HAIR  SPACES  are  very  thin  spaces,  grading  in  .001  of  an  inch  from 
.012  to  .020.  They  are  similar  in  shape  to  the  "en"  and  "em"  spaces, 
but  are  inserted  in  the  line  by  hand  and  automatically  returned  by  the 


GENERAL    INFORMATION 


machine  to  the  quad  box.  These  should  not  be  confounded  with  the 
regular  thin  spaces  measuring  .028,  .031,  .035,  .0385,  .042,  and  .049. 

ACCENTED  CAPITALS  can  be  furnished  reduced  in  height  to 
cast  on  a  regular  body,  or  made  full  height  to  cast  on  a  larger  body, 
the  increased  thickness  to  go  on  the  top  of  the  slug. 

Superior  and  Inferior  Figures  can  be  used  for  extended  fractions,  foot- 
notes, powers,  etc. 

Should  you  return  matrices  to  us  at  any  time,  please  see  that  they  are 
carefully  assorted  by  font,  face  and  character — that  is,  put  all  A*$ 
together,  all  B's  together,  etc.,  of  each  font.  By  so  doing  you  will 
save  time  and  expense,  as  we  invariably  charge  for  this  work. 

If  sets  are  required  to  be  broken  and  other  characters  substituted  in 
place  of  those  regularly  supplied,  it  will  be  done  upon  request.  There 
will,  however,  be  a  charge  of  $1  per  font  for  doing  this,  as  it  entails 
extra  labor  and  a  second  handling,  as  well  as  inspection  and  recounting. 

ITALIC  /  AND  g  REMODELLED.  Attention  is  called  to  the  re- 
modelled  Italic  /  shown  in  the  following  faces:  6-,  8-,  10-,  11-,  and 
12-point  Old  Style  No.  1.  We  are  remodelling  the  Italic  /  in  all  of 
our  faces,  and  as  rapidly  as  completed  they  will  be  placed  in  stock. 
We  are  also  remodelling  the  Italic  g  in  our  Old  Style  No.  1  faces. 
When  either  of  the  above  is  desired  it  should  be  specially  requested.

Linotype  machine  in  connection  with  the  ordinary  mold,  do  not  demand 
the  use  of  any  extra  parts  in  the  machine.  Order  by  number  and  note 
that  the  corner  pieces  have  special  numbers.  Sets  of  26  matrices  $2.50 ; 
single  matrices  10  cents. 

MATRIX  SLIDES,  complete  in  one  piece,  are  used  in  the  machine 
with  the  regular  mold.  One  quad  block  must  be  had  to  hold  the  slides, 
which  are  interchangeable  and  produce  rules,  dashes,  and  borders  in 
great  variety,  in  every  way  as  perfect  as  those  of  brass.  Quad  Blocks, 
13£  to  30  ems,  $2.00;  13  ems  and  under,  $1.75.  Matrix  Slides,  any 
pattern,  13£  to  30  ems,  $1.25;  13  ems  and  under,  $1.00. 

SPACEBANDS  are  now  made  in  three  classes — thin,  thick,  and  extra 
thick.  The  thin  bands  present  a  minimum  thickness  of  .032  of  an  inch 
and  expand  to  .095  of  an  inch.  These  are  for  use  where  very  thin 
spacing  is  desired,  as,  for  example,  in  connection  with  very  small  faces. 

Thick  bands  present  a  minimum  thickness  of  .0375  of  an  inch,  and 
expand  to  .100  of  an  inch.  These  bands  are  most  commonly  used  and 
are  made  for  use  with  one-  and  two-letter  matrices., 

Extra  thick  bands  present  a  minimum  thickness  of  .047  of  an  inch,  and 
expand  to  .147  of  an  inch.  They  were  especially  designed  to  save  hand 
spacing  where  large  German  matrices  are  used  on  short  newspaper 
measure,  and  can  also  be  used  with  12-point  faces,  or  where  wide 
spacing  is  desired.

The  most  ancient  materials  employed  for  recording  events  were  bricks, 
tiles,  shells  and  tables  of  stone.  The  modes  of  writing  on  these  different 
substances  were  various.  The  tiles  and  brick  were  impressed  with  a

The  most  ancient  materials  used  for  recording  events  were  bricks,  tiles,

The  most  ancient  materials  used  for  recording  events  were  bricks,  tiles, 
shells,  and  tables  of  stone.  The  modes  of  writing  on  these  different  sub- 
stances were  various.  The  tiles  and  brick  were  impressed  with  a  stamp 
when  in  a  soft  state,  the  shells  and  tablets  of  stone  were  etched  or 
graven,  the  figures  or  characters  being  cut  in  their  surface,  and  in  some 
cases  also  stained  with  various  colors.  It  was  by  the  ancient  art  of 
stamping  that  the  walls,  palaces,  and  towers  of  Babylon  were  covered 
with  hieroglyphics,  which  have  but  recently  been  brought  to  light  from 
under  the  immense  mounds  of  Mesopotamia  by  Layard  and  other 
explorers.  The  patriarch  Job,  who  is  supposed  to  have  lived  about  2,300 
years  after  the  creation,  exclaimed,  "  O  that  my  words  were  now  written! 
O  that  they  were  printed  in  a  book!  that  they  were  graven  with  an  iron 
pen  and  hid  in  the  rock  forever!  "  Stung  with  the  unjust  accusation  of 
his  friends,  he  desires  to  record  his  words  that  the  generations  following 
might  see  the  justice  of  his  cause.  The  English  translation  has  given

The  most  ancient  materials  used  for  recording  events  were  bricks, 
tiles,  shells,  and  tables  of  stone.  The  modes  of  writing  on  these 
different  substances  were  various.  The  tiles  and  brick  were  im-

stone  were  etched  or  graven,  the  figures  or  characters  being  cut  in

It  was  by  the  ancient  art  of  stamping  that  the  walls,  palaces,  and

recently  been  brought  to  light  from  under  the  immense  mounds  of 
Mesopotamia  by  Layard  and  other  explorers.  The  patriarch  Job,  who 
is  supposed  to  have  lived  2,300  years  after  the  creation,  exclaimed,

forever!  "  Stung  with  the  unjust  accusation  of  his  friends, he  desires 
to  record  his  words  that  the  generations  following  might  see  the  jus- 
tice of  his  cause.  The  English  translation  has  given  the  allusion  to 
printing  to  the  text,  the  original  word  signifying  rather  to  engrave

MERGENTHALER     LINOTYPE     CO. 


BY  THIS  SYSTEM,  invented  by  Mr.  J.  R.  Rogers  and  adopted 
by  the  Linotype  Company,  it  becomes  possible  to  set  rule  and 
figure  matter   and   tables  in   general  on   the   Linotype  machine 
with  rapidity  and  accuracy  and  at  a  cost  below  that  possible  under  any 
other  system. 

The  appliances  for  this  work  are  quickly  applicable  to  all  exiting 
Linotype  machines. 

The  machine  produces  the  ordinary  horizontal  slugs,  having  therein 
slots  to  receive  shallow  brass  rules.  The  slugs  are  delivered  from  the 
machine  with  the  slots  therein,  and  no  sawing,  cutting  or  other  treatment 
is  necessary.  After  the  proofs  are  pulled  and  corrections  made,  the 
rules  may  be  inserted  in  an  instant,  and  when  the  form  is  locked  up  the 
rules  are  held  securely  in  place.

These  matrices  differ  from  the  ordinary  matrices  only  in  that  the 
characters  are  punched  horizontally  or  transversely  in  the  edge  instead 
of  vertically. 

The  characters,  on  the  vertical  slug,  appear  one  under  another 
instead  of  one  beside  another,  as  on  the  usual  slug.  In  making  up 
the  form,  the  vertical  slugs  are  placed  end  up  and  arranged  side  by 
side. 

For  further  information  see  our  circular,  "  Tabular  Matter  and

HESE  cuts  show  a  Dash 
Quad  Block  (b)  and  a 
removable  Matrix  Slide  (a). 
The  Quad  Block,  containing 
a  Matrix  Slide,  is  placed  in 
the  assembling  elevator  in 
the  same  manner  as  a  line 
of  sorts.  The  transfer  lever 
is  then  locked,  and  any  num- 
ber of  dashes  may  then  be 
produced. 

With  one  Dash  Quad 
Block  and  a  few  Matrix 
Slides  (which  are  inter- 
changeable) the  entire  cost 
of  brass  rules,  dashes,  etc., 
may  be  saved. 

These  rules  are  ordinarily  made  to  cast  on  a  6-Point 
body,  but  can  be  cast  on  any  size  from  5  J4  -Point  to 
i2-Point,  according  to  the  thickness  of  the  face.  They 
are  made  any  length  desired  up  to  30  ems  i2-Point.  In 
ordering  please  state  both  the  length  of  face  and  body 
desired.
